Just after some opinions. Working out my last spot in my forward line and need to chose from Darling (Ave 69.14 only 33 last week) Howe (Ave 76.60) and Tappy (Ave 69.50)

Leaning towards Tappy even though it's his first game back, as I still think he has more potential to rack up the possies than the other 2. But worried he may start as Sub and screw me. Any thoughts? :rolleyes:

Is this for the rest of the season?

I'd go Darling. Not to put a knock on our boys, but it's Tappys first game back, and Howe is a marking forward in greasy decisions.

Oh nah sorry mate I have all 3, two of them need to go on the bench, just wondering who to start this week.

Howe. Has current form. Gets points with one percenters even when he's not getting heaps of footy

Darling's tapered off over the past month or more. I've benched him & am thinking of trading him

Tappy had dropped off a bit when he got hurt. The sub risk you mentioned is a factor as well

Yeah which ever I don't pick will score high!!! So on that theory I'll play Darling so Tappy and Howe have blinders, and I'm still happy!

Howe - I reckon he is going to smash a big 100 sooner rather than later.

Darling is tired & sore

Tappy - 1st game back might be an issue.

If that is your forward bench for the rest of the season you are in a good position.

Smokey forward for the remainder of the season - Jonothon Brown

Cheap & looking to be running into some handy form. Capable of 160 plus when firing.

I still have Darling, but reckon he's gotta go as his output has gone from brilliant for a 1st yr player, to just average. Howe has been a bit better, whilst Tappy had tapered off a little preinjury too. Not sure how Tappy will return, but I'm quite happy with Howe so far.

I have Jonno Brown after his second game back and is starting to peak thank god. And in all honesty what the hell are you still doing with tapscott and darling in your team. A decent downgrade is Ian Callinan from Crows. Comes back next week, 91k price rise after next game. Get on him. my worst forward is Jonathan Brown by the way and now he is starting to hit form. Form is temporary, class is permanent

Talia from the Crows is a good downgrade option. 92 points in his first game and will be given time to develop. A DPP also.

Yeah my backline was the issue this week as I have Puoppolo, Birchall and Suckling, all with the bye so had to bring in Dan Nicholson, Andy Otten and Nick lower. At least they are all playing but I'm used to chalking up the points when those Hawks kick to and fro each other round the half back line racking up 25-30 possies each. I really want to put Ablett as Captain but very unsure if he will play the full game, so prob go for pendles.

I decided to concentrate more on my mids and high scoring defenders. So to save some trades for finals I decided to leave Darling and Tappy there for now. They are on the bench anyway and besides I'm averaging 2096 a round thus far so this I'm traveling ok for now.

See? We do need a fantasy footy sub-section :D Luckily, my worst forward is Yarran. Should be averaging 90+, but I can't change that.

Depending on trades you should do a downgrade/upgrade - Tapscott and Darling > Talia and some premium.

Anyway, tough choice for captain this week. Not sure on Ablett. Maybe Pendles.

It'd be nice if you got a free trade for Heath Shaw. Pretty rough!

One of the most reliable defenders.

I reckon the majority of fantasy leagues will be forced to trade him now.

I'm down to 4 trades now because of his stupidity.

Ditto.

Was very keen on Pendles and Buddy, plus one quality back to finish off the side - with 310 in the bank. Now I'm 2 quality defenders short.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
